Another name has been added to WWEs growing list of developmental releases.
According to Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, Jin Tala has officially been released from her WWE contract, joining a series of talent exits from the companys ID program.
Tala had only just started making waves in the wrestling world. She debuted in 2024 and was featured during the first season of WWE LFG on A&E. Her early performances stood out enough to earn her time on WWEs EVOLVE brand, where she even challenged for the EVOLVE Womens Championship over the summer. Her last known match took place at an NXT live event on October 4.
This latest development follows similar announcements from Jamar Hampton and Stevie Turner, who also confirmed that their time with WWE has ended. Several of the releases appear to be part of a broader shake-up in WWEs developmental system, particularly affecting those tied to newer projects like LFG and EVOLVE.
Jin Tala isnt the only one let go by WWE this week. Other names released include BJ Ray, Jamar Hampton, Wes Lee, Stevie Turner, Drako Knox, Zara Zakher, and Lance Anoai.
Jin Talas departure raises questions about WWEs current strategy for building new starsand how quickly they move on from talent once spotlighted in major brand efforts.
